How to help a dog cope with loss?

Dinner with my dog

should we take a class or hire a trainer?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
So Sammy is pretty well-behaved, but there are still a few pesky traits I am trying to work on. I'd tried clicker training him in the past and he's terrified of the clicker. I'd still like to try clicker training, but I've tried click pens and jar lids and anything else softer sounding...
